We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Director, Applied AI Product Manager to join our EMEA Innovation / Strategic Partnerships, Investments & Innovation team. This role is located in London, UK.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways

• Product strategy and opportunity framing

• Define product vision, strategy, and roadmap for AI-enabled transformation opportunities.

• Translate complex business or client problems into clear opportunity statements, product hypotheses, MVP scopes, PRDs, and execution plans.

• Identify high-value opportunities for AI, intelligent automation, LLMs, workflow redesign, decision intelligence, and agentic solutions.

• Partner with business sponsors, designers, AI Hub, engineering, data, risk, and platform teams to shape solutions that are valuable, feasible, usable, and governable.

• Help convert discovery outputs into prioritised product opportunities, build paths, or handoff recommendations.

• AI-enabled product development

• Shape AI-enabled workflows, agent concepts, decision-support tools, prototypes, and product solutions.

• Define what should be automated, augmented, escalated, or kept human led.

• Work with technical partners to define orchestration needs, data requirements, permissions, integration considerations, model behaviour, and evaluation needs.

• Use approved AI tools and methods to accelerate research, synthesis, product thinking, requirements development, prototyping, and decision support.

• Critically evaluate AI outputs for quality, accuracy, bias, limitations, risk, and fitness for purpose.

• Delivery, experimentation, and measurable outcomes

• Lead cross-functional delivery from opportunity framing through prototype, MVP, pilot, or handoff.

• Establish clear success metrics linked to productivity, operational efficiency, risk reduction, adoption, client experience, revenue support, or decision quality.

• Drive fast learning loops through hypothesis testing, experimentation, user feedback, and evidence-based prioritisation.

• Balance speed with control, ensuring responsible AI, data, compliance, security, operational resilience, and risk considerations are embedded early.

• Create executive-ready narratives, decision packs, and product artefacts that support senior stakeholder alignment.

• Stakeholder and team leadership

• Partner with senior stakeholders across business lines, operations, technology, design, risk, compliance, and commercial teams.

• Communicate complex AI and product concepts in clear, practical, outcome-focused language.

• Work fluidly in small multidisciplinary teams, contributing beyond narrow role boundaries while maintaining clear accountability.

• Mentor and support colleagues as the team builds stronger AI product capability.

• Help create a team culture built on trust, constructive challenge, continuous learning, and shared ownership of outcomes.

• To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

• Significant experience in AI product management, digital product management, enterprise product development, AI-enabled transformation, or technology-led business change.

• Strong understanding of generative AI, LLM-enabled systems, intelligent automation, agentic workflows, and AI-enabled product capabilities.

• Experience translating complex business problems into product strategies, requirements, roadmaps, prototypes, or delivery plans.

• Ability to work with engineering, data science, AI Hub, design, business, and risk teams to shape practical solutions.

• Strong understanding of enterprise technology concepts such as APIs, workflows, data flows, permissions, integration layers, observability, and production-readiness.

• Experience operating in complex, regulated, or highly governed environments.

• Strong stakeholder management, executive communication, prioritisation, and delivery leadership skills.

• Ability to define and measure outcomes, not just deliver outputs.

• We are looking for people who can thrive in a fast-moving, AI-enabled, high-trust team environment. The strongest candidates will be:

• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to create structure without waiting for perfect framing.

• Curious, self-directed, and able to learn new domains quickly.

• Collaborative and team-oriented, with a willingness to build on others’ ideas and adapt when evidence changes.

• Confident giving and receiving constructive feedback across all levels.

• Resilient under pace, feedback, uncertainty, and changing priorities.

• Strong communicators who can explain decisions, trade-offs, and risks clearly.

• Evidence-led rather than opinion-led.

• Risk-aware without being risk-averse.

• Excited by continuous learning and willing to help others develop.

• Comfortable operating across product, design, AI, data, engineering, risk, and business strategy.

• Experience building or scaling AI-enabled products, internal platforms, workflow tools, agents, or automation capabilities.

• Experience with AI product evaluation, model performance, responsible AI, prompt design, RAG, knowledge graphs, or agent orchestration.

• Experience in financial services, capital markets, asset servicing, banking, payments, operations, risk, compliance, or data-intensive enterprise environments.

• Experience working in innovation, venture-building, consulting, transformation, or emerging technology teams.

• Product certifications, agile certifications, AI specialisations, or advanced degrees are helpful but not required where equivalent experience is demonstrated.
